We did it!!! We’ve been accepted to participate in the iNSPIRE project!!
We are very excited to be part of this program and help with the research. Artesia Christian Home is always open to new technological advances that can help improve our residents lives. We will post our journey with this program on all of our social media outlets and here on our blog so please stay tuned and follow us on our facebook page

The California Department of Public Health has awarded a grant of $2.6 million to the LeadingAge California Foundation to implement the iN2L engagement technology program in skilled nursing facilities across the state.
This project is the first of its kind in California.
The iNSPIRE Project provides skilled nursing facilities with iN2L engagement technology, which offers thousands of technology-based experiences aimed at improving quality of life, reducing antipsychotic drug use, providing
stress relief, and much more.
The three-year project will support a study including 30 residents at 60 skilled nursing facilities (which we are one of) for a total of 1,800 study participants and includes an evaluation to determine changes over time.
The iNSPIRE project will evaluate improvement in quality of care and quality of life through two clear and measurable objectives:
• Reduce antipsychotic use by twenty percent (20%)
• Increase participation in person-centered activities by twenty percent (20%)
At No Cost, Participating SNFs Receive:
• One iN2L Mobile FLEX system, a 23” touch screen computer on a motorized, height-adjustable cart with an articulating arm loaded with over 4,000 social, educational, and spiritual content options including games developed specifically for individuals undergoing cognitive decline.
• Three iN2L tablets with 1,000 games, puzzles, movies, audio books, and applications specially designed for one-on-one activities; as well as Video Chat, an easy one-tap application for virtual visits.
• The iN2L Engagement package including drive simulator, bike simulator, and flight simulator.
• 24-month subscriptions for the iN2L Mobile FLEX and tablets
• iN2L Program Launch/Implementation session, including system installation and project rollout
• Competency Building training to ensure program sustainability
• iN2L training and content update webinars throughout the duration of the project

How to Balance Compassion and Well-Being through Self-Care
Caregiving, while rewarding, can be a demanding role that requires a great deal of physical, emotional, and mental strength. For new caregivers, self-care is paramount in maintaining their health and well-being while providing the best care possible for others.
If you’re someone who wants to help the senior community but you’re not located nearby, the internet has opened up new volunteering possibilities. Whether you’re hoping to help with errands, social care or simply life admin, there are plenty of ways to help remotely. Here are some tips from Artesia Christian Home to keep in mind.
AFib: Causes, Symptoms, Treatments and Reducing Your Risk
The moment that you realize that a loved one is no longer able or wanting to live at home is a life-changing moment. Initially, you may feel sad, angry, and relieved all at once. These initial feelings tend to give way to feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the magnitude of the task ahead and the decisions that must be made to help your loved one take the next step.
